MAJOR RELEASES

Canadian international merchandise trade, December 2003
Merchandise exporters finished 2003 on a positive note, reporting a 3.6% gain in their shipments abroad for December, despite a Canadian dollar that hit decade-high levels. Total imports edged up 0.7%, their second consecutive monthly rise. As a result, Canada's merchandise trade surplus soared by nearly $1 billion to $5.4 billion, the largest increase since January 2003.

Monthly Survey of Manufacturing, December 2003 and Annual 2003
